Redress: The Power Edition unites independent Womxn of Colour burlesque artistes. Each performer, unapologetically different, bringing their unique experiences to the stage––Reinforcing their agency, Reclaiming their bodies, Redressing imbalance. Performers include the fearless and sultry Bon Bon, elegantly spicy Chilli D’Vine, bubbly and oh-so cheeky Glitter Tush, and the slow-burn powerhouse that is Vita Nova, with sassy stage kitten Lacy Bittz leaving nothing behind.

Singing sensation Marguerita Freeks, charmingly badass producer and sound tech Pillow Talk, and MC extraordinaire Charlie French will accompany all the power moves and dancing shoes. Pre-show attractions include the incredible work of local artist Mia Arderne.
